Mission

Inspired by folk singer Pete Seeger and launched in 1969, Hudson River Sloop Clearwater works to defend and restore the Hudson River, conducting environmental education, advocacy programs, and celebrations. The nucleus of the activities is to protect the Hudson River, its tributaries and related water bodies, and to create public awareness of the estuary's complex relationship with the coastal zone. The sloop Clearwater, a 106-foot wooden sailing boat, serves as a moveable classroom; each year, nearly 13,000 children and adults attend education sails that teach history, biology, environmental science and navigation along the Hudson River, New York Harbor, and Long Island Sound. Thousands more are reached through on-land classroom visits, field programs, and public exhibits.
